What speaker to replace ESL 63?
if you want dynamic drivers, just get merlins and call it good. they're far faster than just about anything out there, and one well-built crossover helps give the same "single transducer" feeling.you won't get a multi-driver speaker w/ the same qu...

Stay W/B&W 805's or goto a bigger speaker
"I think that you'd have to spend ALOT more to get speakers with the quality of sound of the 805s along with significantly more bass."...sorry, have to disagree here. jim, you'd be well served to look into Vandy 2ce, maggie 1.6, paradigm 100. all ...
